Life Commodities, Keepsakes

LIFE’S COMMODITIES © Nails and screws ‘mate’ together But nails puncture tires when misdirected Another’s love loss is another’s gain Love bites break hearts into little pieces Commodities here today, gone tomorrow Replaceable parts are ‘outnumbered’ one to none Do or die in the here/after--- ‘suicide’ Life will rot to its very core Thrown aside ‘punted’ fore-ever more Rebirthed and planted it will grow big And perhaps will be saved for another year’s commodity. KEEPSAKES © Fishwife’s tales Poppy dog tails Fairies in storied ‘lore’ Fly and gad about no more Lengths of twine saved thrice Wrap on today’s keepsakes! Treasures are memories held In minds, hearts and pretty boxes Brought out to remind once again Keepsakes of puppy dog tails and fairy lore.
